    摘要: Devices, systems, and methods are provided in which noise or artifacts generated by motion of a probe are attenuated in acquired physiological data, such as auscultation or ultrasound data. One such method includes acquiring physiological data of a patient by a handheld device. Motion of the handheld device is sensed, and a determination is made as to whether the sensed motion of the handheld device exceeds a motion threshold. The method further includes generating conditioned physiological data of the patient by attenuating a portion of the acquired physiological data in response to determining that the sensed motion of the handheld device exceeds the motion threshold.

    摘要: A device obtains ultrasound signals with ultrasound sensors without using ultrasound coupling gels on the face of the device. One such device includes an acoustic coupling pad that is placed on the ultrasound sensors. The acoustic coupling pad replaces conventional water-based ultrasound sensing gels to obviate the need for using such gels that may cause an electrical short circuit between electrode leads of electrocardiogram sensors positioned adjacent to the ultrasound sensors in the face of the device.

    摘要: Ultrasound systems, devices, and methods for removing heat from within an ultrasound transducer probe are provided herein. An ultrasound transducer probe may include an imaging surface having one or more transducer elements, electronic circuitry, a heat exchanger and a housing. The housing at least partially surrounds the imaging surface, electronic circuitry and heat exchanger or the heat exchanger may simply be operatively coupled to the probe. The electronic circuitry may include processing circuitry that controls transmission of an ultrasound signal from the one or more transducer elements, and driving circuitry operatively coupled to the one or more transducer elements and the processing circuitry. The driving circuitry is configured to drive the transmission of the ultrasound signal by the one or more transducer elements in response to a control signal received from the processing circuitry. The heat exchanger includes a conduit for containing a flow of cooling fluid.
